BY BILL MURRAY CLOTHES If laid end to end, ail the shoes bought by Aggie* during one year would reach more than two miles According to a recent survey made by the advertising staff of The Battalion, thw 6,600 students of A. 4 M. spend |26£37 a yetr fer civilian shoes. At an average prioe, •ay of four dollars a pair, tN* mean# that we buy approximately 6,636 pairs of sheet a year. On civilian shirts we spend some 132,661 annually, or nearly |6 a student A rather surprising fset brought out by the survey is thnt we spend nearly as incli In ysnr on civflisn gaits as we do on out Aggie uniforms. For suits w* ex pend around $163,437 annual*; for uniform parts $169,427. 11 these euma were distributed equal ly among all of us, we would each have $27.68 as the average price of s suit and slightly more than $30 as the average amount paid for uniform*. . In one year we buy some 61,111 pairs of eox—more than 9 pa for each of as. And of civilian t we buy some 14,260, nearly three new ties per student The sums given above add up to the almost sUgg ring , total of $382,042 that we spend in one year fer wearing apparel Rut th is just s fraction of all the things that we spend for In one year (fx elusive of education). For clothing, materia] comforts, and p- raonal luxuries, we spend altogether a total of at least $966,372 a year- practically a million dollars. RIFLE mint) SPONSOR DANCE The A 4 M.
